Warning and Safety instructions
Installation and connection
The appliance must be installed and connected by a suitably
qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system, which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is regularly tested, and if there is any doubt, the electrical wiring in the home should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
This appliance must not be installed over a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer,
refrigerator, freezer or fridge-freezer. The high temperatures radiated by it could damage the appliance below.
This equipment may only be used in mobile installations such as
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct usage
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance you
should read these operating instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on the safety, operation and care of the appliance.
For safety reasons this appliance must only be operated after it has
been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.
This appliance is intended for domestic use only and is not to be
used for commercial purposes.
Only use the appliance to prepare food in the home. Any other usage
is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect or improper use of the appliance.
Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire. The life of the appliance could also be reduced.
Prolonged, intensive use of the appliance can cause the control
area to heat up. This is quite normal and does not indicate a fault.

Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
The appliance is only intended for use by adults who have read these
operating instructions.
This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury keep
children well away and do not let them play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.
Older children may use the appliance only when its operation
has been clearly explained to them, and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.
Use the safety lock to prevent children operating the appliance or
altering the settings.
The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for quite a
while after being switched off. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the appliance at all times.
Do not store anything which might arouse a child's interest in storage
areas above or next to the appliance. Otherwise they could be tempted into climbing onto the appliance with the risk of burning themselves.
Keep all pans out of reach of children. Turn pan handles inwards
away from the edge of the hob. Danger of burning or scalding. Special hob guards are available from good retail outlets.
Packaging (e.g. cling film, polystyrene) and plastic wrappings
must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Dispose of all packaging safely as soon as possible.
Old appliances must be disconnected from the power
supply, the plug rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance to ensure it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
Protecting the appliance from damage
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Even a light
object could cause damage in certain circumstances.
Do not use pots or pans on the ceramic hob with bases with
pronounced edges or ridges. These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently. Grains of salt and sand can also scratch.
Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or
aluminium foil to get on ceramic cooking zones when they are hot. If this should occur, switch off the hob and carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium remains from the hob while it is still hot using a shielded scraper blade. Take care not to burn yourself. If these residues are allowed to cool before the hob surface has been cleaned, the ceramic surface will be susceptible to pitting or even cracking.
Clean the appliance once it has cooled down.
To prevent the risk of spillages etc. burning on, remove any soiling as quickly as possible and ensure that pan
bases are clean, dry and free of grease.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam
could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to other components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Unless the pan manufacturer states that you can do so, do not
use pans with very thin bases on this hob and never heat up empty pans as they could get damaged. This could also damage the appliance.
Never place hot pans near the control area. This could damage
the electronic unit underneath.
In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.
